Lets hope it is just reverse psycology she is using on Nicky, tells the whole world he is gonna make a fool out of himself, so then he has to prove grandma wrong!
(She also mentions that she is very worried about both nicky and his mom & dad because she believes someone is gonna blow the place up, and that she watches every game local time (1-2am depending on starting time) and also followed the juniors world championship, she knows & follows hockey)

Well. She wishes Pär Mårts had sent the WCJ-team to Sochi instead. So I’m not signing the “knows hockey”-part.

Grandma Britt is awesome! I think she knows what Nicky is capable of, and wishes he would get to that level again. The way the Caps have played in some games this season I get sleepy too.
Sweden is still my pick to win gold with Backstrom having no small part in that.

Maybe they interviewed the Goalie Nick Backtrom’s grandmother.

Aftonbladet, notorious Swedish tabloid, published an own interview with Granny Backstrom last night, where she tries to get herself out of the missunderstanding that she thinks bad of her grandson.

– What I said was that they [Washington Capitals] haven’t been doing very good as of late, not the he [in particular] was playing bad.
– I didn’t mean to break him, Britt, who hasn’t watched the clip herself, says.
Have you gotten a lot of reactions of the quotes?
– Yes, the phone has been ringing and I’ve been sad the whole day, since I heard about [the articles].
Have you talked to Nicklas?
– No, but I really hope he didn’t see the clip, if he has I’ll go crazy. I think you should write that I think he’s a really, really good hockeyplayer.
